Leader of the Opposition Raja Riaz Ahmed calls on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as part of the consultation process for selection of the caretaker prime minister in Islamabad on August 10, 2023. “We’ve yet to reach a consensus,” the opposition leader told reporters after leaving the PM House. Speculations have been making rounds about different contenders for the post of the caretaker premier for weeks now but there is no official word yet. Even though no name has yet been finalised, PM Shehbaz will continue to act as the prime minister until a caretaker premier takes his place. According to Article 94 of the Constitution, the president might ask the prime minister to continue holding the office until their successor takes over the position.
